''Adnama?'' Savaree Questioned.

''Yes, love?'' Adnama answered.

''What do you think of the Arithmancy Professor?''

''Savaree, you know I like her. Truthfully, Naobi seems to like her as well. She has a high level of intellect, from what Albus told us. Personally, I think she would be great for Severus.'' Chuckled Adnama.

Savaree looked at his wife and wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked toward their painting on the third floor." You believe that a child,as she, could bring Severus happiness.''

Adnama removed her husbands' arm as they stopped at the top of the third floor.'' Savaree.'' Adnama said appalled.'' Honestly, Do you not see a beautiful woman when you look at her. Even though we are married doesn't mean that you don't have eyes. I would feel sorry for you. Besides that she is a lovely, she is young and she has infinite knowledge. It seems she is just as smart as Severus.''

Adnama said with anger in her voice.

Savaree at his wifes determined face.'' You are right love. I am sorry. Why don't we just question Severus and Hermione on their attitudes on each other at the feast.'' Savaree knew he was in trouble with Adnama. He knew of only one way to make it up her. Savaree moved up to Adnama, tilted her head slightly, wrapped his arm around her as his free arm roamed her body. Hearing Adnama moan and tilt her head even more to allow Savaree full access knew all was forgiven.Savaree smiled.'' Let's finish this in our rooms. I want to prove I only have eyes for you.'' Savaree whispered as Adnama looked dissappointed but allowed Savaree to guide her into the rooms.

''Luna'' Adnama whispered.

The portait of the White Tiger swung open. Adnama walked in, turning around she saw Savaree whisper Nox with a wave of his wand and then entered her bliss in the darkness.

~*~ In Severus' Private Rooms~*~

'' Uncle Severus?'' Naobi called across the room.

'' Naobi I'm here I just wanted a book.'' Severus replied as he entered his common room from his private library.

'' Oh,em 'kay.'' Naobi jumped on the long black leather couch.''What is it like to be a Professor?''

'' Much to people's dismay I enjoy teaching. Only not to students such as Neville Longbottom. Children with gifts as potions making I enjoy teaching to.''

'' I think I want to be a Professor.''

'' Naobi, you can be anything you want to be. Should you choose to become a Professor, what exactly would you teach?''

'' Charms like mum, I don't like Herbology. It's all eeky and dirty. Plus you get cooties. Or..Potions like you.'' Naobi looked at the ground and started twirling her dark brown hair. This was how anyone knew Naobi was thinking. Seeing as she was thinking extremely hard, Severus decided to wait untill she voiced what was on her mind. It didn't take long for Naobi to voice what else she was thinking. Severus was just surprised as to what she said next.'' Or you know....Arithmancy like 'Mione.''

'' You mean Granger?'' Adnama nodded. 'So that's the nickname Potter and the Weaslys would call her.' '' You seem to Like Mi-Professor Granger alot.''

'' Jupz! 'Mione is very pretty and she's very smart. She doesn't like Divinitions either.'' At this Naobi screwed up her face to show how much she didn't like the subject.''Uncle Severus would you please read to me before dinner?''

Knowing that the discussion about Granger was over Severus obliged. '' Indeed, yes come here.'' Severus commanded. Naobi jumped on Severus lap and laid on Severus chest as Severus read *~Siddhartha~*

When it was time to go to dinner Severus and Naobi walked in to the Great Hall.

~*~ In the Great Hall. Dinner.~*~

Severus walked in the Great Hall with Naobi at his side. Already at one long table was Minerva who was in conversation with Miss. Granger. Albus was entertaining Remus with some new muggle candy. Sibyll and Laura were whispering to each other, as soon as Laura spotted Severus she licked her lips. Severus cringer and sat down putting Naobi between himself and Minerva. As Severus looked around he noted his brother and sister-n-laws absence. After waiting for five minutes he was growing impatient and was about to take his dinner in his rooms, Adnama who looked extremely exhausted with Savaree who looked very pleased walked in. Adnama sat next to Hermione and across from Naobi. Savaree sat next to his wife and across from his little brother. When Severus was about to give Savaree and Adnama a good insult, Albus stood up to make his announcements.

'' The house-elves have been informed that tonights dinner would be a feast to celebrate our new teachers.'' Despites Lauras' snort he continued.'' So let us enjoy our feast and continue to learn more of our where-abouts and catch up on old times with food in our stomachs.'' With a clap of the Headmasters hands the food appeared on the plates.

In the beggining of the meal the Professors and Naobi were silent enjoying the food the house-elves cooked. Hermione looked up from her plate to see Naobi playing with the food on her plate. Hermione decided to entertain the little girl.

'' Naobi, which house would you like to be sorted into when you attend Hogwarts?''

'' I know there is Slytherin. Mummy, Daddy and Uncle Severus were in it. So I want to be in it too. What other houses are there?''

'' Well there is Hufflepuff. I strongly believe you will not be sorted in that house. There is Ravenclaw for the smartest of witchs and wizards. Then you have Gryffindor known for the brave.''

'' Well Ravenclaw doesn't sound to bad. Hufflepuff no, definitely not. Gryffindor sounds okay. But, Slytherin sounds more for me.'' Naobi flashed smile to Hermione.

As Adnama was listening to the conversation she decided she should join in to see Hermione and Severus got along.

'' So Hermione when you were a student, you were in Gryffindor?'' To Hermione's nod she continued.'' How was it you weren't put in Ravenclaw?''

'' The Sorting Hat said I could go to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor and which one did I want. I wanted adventure so I choose Gryffindor.''

'' I see. Well what were your best subjects besides Arithmancy?''

Severus who had been listening to the interrogation Adnama was giving Mrs. Granger and couldn't help but say something.

''Miss. Granger was 'O' level in all subjects except for Divination.''

Hearing this compliment from Snape made her blush a cinnamon color. Severus couldn't help but stare at her. She looked gorgeous when she blushed.

'' So Hermione what else hace you done that none of the teachers know of. You can spill it out now, you wont get into trouble.''

'' In my first year I lied to my Professors about a troll.''

Severus sneered.''You have never been good at lying, we all knew you were lying. The Professor's and I were just without proof. You have never been good at lying.''

'' It seemed like the best thing to do at the time. Don't worry though being best friends with Harry and Ron has improved my lying.'' Hermione laughed and muttered something.

'' What was that Hermione?'' Questioned Adnama. Liking the interactions between Severus and Hermione.

'' I lit Professor Snapes robes on fire at Harry's first Quidditch match.'' Hermione said. Severus head snapped up.'' It was only because we thought that Professor Snape was after the Sorcerers Stone!'' Hermione rushed quickly. The Severus shoulders sank a little.

'' I should have known.'' Severus sneered

Minerva decided to join the party as well.'' Did you know that 'Mione solved Severus' potions riddle?''

Now Severus was looking in Hermiones' cinnamon brown eyes. He would NOT could NOT believe that.'' Is that true Miss. Granger?' Shock evident in his voice.

'' Yes, sir.'' Hermione still didn't drop his gaze.

'' Oh would you two stop! You are collegues no need for sirs or Miss! Hermione meet Severus. Severus meet Hermione.'' Adnama chided.

'' SO what else have you done Hermione?'' Severus asked. Hermione was shocked. This was the first time he had ever called her by her first name. And she liked it.

'' Mhm..In second year I brewed the Polyjuice Potion and found out that Salazar's pet just so happend to be a Basilisk.

'' You could have not!'' Severus nearly shouted. Now the whole table were listening to to her confessions.

'' Yes I did Severus.'' Hermione looked at him. Eyes intact. Neither willing to back down.'' Third year I had the guts to smack Malfoy, I was the only one to figure out Remus was a werewolf, plus in the Shrieking Shack I stunned you. In fourth year I was the one who found out about Rita Skeeter being an unregeistered Animagus. In fifth year I led Umbrige to the cenatours. In sixth year I discovered that besides you, Minerva, Draco Malfoy, Merlin, Albus, and Voldemort I have Wandless Magic powers. In seventh year I helped in the downfall of Voldemort. Or do you not remember? I was the bait. I dueled over fifty death eaters using my wand and wandless magic. I have done alot of stuff that you nor the rest of the staff knows.''

All the teachers watched amazed. Hermione was only given credit from her teachers and parents. Not from public as was Harry. She wasn't the person who loved the spot light but she wouldn't mind once in a wile to have her name in the headline once or even twice. The time when her name appeared was when she was 'supposably' having an affair with Vicktor and cheating on Harry. She only kissed Vicktor. She never dated Harry. Once she did with Ron but realizing that it was like Ron dating Ginny they broke up and stayed best friends.

'' I'm sorry Severus. Headmaster, please excuse me. It seems I feel rather ill, and will take dinner in my private rooms.'' With the Headmasters' nod as permission Hermione swung her legs over and left the Great Hall.

Adnama was blown away. This woman was a genius yet, she didn't remember hearing anything about her, besides she was Harry Potters' best friend.'' I will go see how she is. Albus, where are her rooms?''

'' Hermione's rooms are on the sixth floor to the right. The portrait of a woman in the library.'' Replied Albus.

As Adnama was about to stand, Savaree made a proposition.

'' I think Severus wants a few words with her. Don't you little brother?'' Savaree said as he pulled Adnama back in her seat.

Catching on Adnama gave a small wink to Savaree.'' Your right. Go ahead Sev. You really do need to talk to her.''

Severus finally got out of his daze. He had been staring at the door where she left. He didn't hear the conversation between Adnama and Savaree. He did hear where her rooms would be.'' Excuse me, I need to talk with Mis-Hermione. Good Evening.''

As Severus walked out the door he missed the twinkle in Albus bright blue eyes, and the jealous green eyes of Laura Ulrich.
